This Dixon GHC7 brass GHT cap has a female Garden Hose Thread (GHT) connection. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability and the cap provides leak-proof termination of garden hose. Hose fittings connect, control, change the direction of, and terminate the flow in piping and hose systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and other materials that resist corrosion, pressure, and wear. Hose fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, barbed, push-to-connect, dry disconnect, and others including those based on internationally-accepted specifications. Hose fittings are used in systems such as air compressors, automatic manufacturing operations, aircraft controls, and tire installation in industries including agriculture, mining, road construction, firefighting, and aviation.
